Stuart Goddard was born in Marylebone, London, the only child of Leslie Alfred Goddard and Betty Kathleen Smith.

His father had served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and worked as a chauffeur, and his mother was an embroiderer for Norman Hartnell.

His home was two rooms in the De Walden buildings, St John's Wood.

He recalls: "There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table."

He is of partial Romani descent; his maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was Romanichal.

This heritage became a basis for a theme in his later work: a concern for oppressed minorities.

His parents divorced when Goddard was seven years old and his mother supported him by working as a domestic cleaner, being briefly employed by Paul McCartney.

Goddard's first school was Robinsfield Infants School, where he created a considerable stir by throwing a brick through the head-teacher's office window on two consecutive days.

In the aftermath of this incident, Goddard was placed under the supervision of teacher Joanna Saloman, who encouraged him to develop his abilities in art and whom he later credited as the first person to show him he could be creative.

Goddard then attended Barrow Hill Junior School where he boxed and was a member of the cricket team.

He passed the eleven plus exam to gain a place at St Marylebone Grammar School, an all-boys school, where he enjoyed history, played rugby, and became a school prefect.

After passing six O levels and three A levels, in English, History and Art, Goddard attended Hornsey College of Art to study graphic design, and was a student of art historian Peter Webb for a time.

He dropped out of Hornsey, short of completing his BA, to focus on a career in music.

The first band Goddard joined was Bazooka Joe, in which he played bass guitar.
